In recent years, tumors have emerged as a major global health threat. An increasing number of studies indicate that the production, development, metastasis, and elimination of tumor cells are closely related to the tumor microenvironment (TME). Advan...
BACKGROUND: Muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) is a prevalent cancer characterized by molecular and clinical heterogeneity. Assessing the spatial heterogeneity of the MIBC microenvironment is crucial to understand its clinical significance.
Liver cancer remains one of the most formidable challenges in modern medicine, characterized by its high incidence and mortality rate. Emerging evidence underscores the critical roles of the immune microenvironment in tumor initiation, development, p...
INTRODUCTION: Calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD) is increasingly prevalent among the aging population, and there is a notable lack of drug therapies. Consequently, identifying novel drug targets will be of utmost importance. Given that type 2 diabe...
INTRODUCTION: Tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes are both prognostic and predictive biomarkers for immunotherapy response. However, less is known about the survival benefits oftheir subpopulations.
INTRODUCTION: Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), a highly heterogeneous malignancy is often associated with unfavorable prognosis. Due to its unique anatomical position and the absence of effective early inspection methods, surgical inter...
BACKGROUND: Aquaculture systems that sporadically depend on antibiotics can contribute to the development of adverse effects on the fish, microbial flora and the environment. This study sought to investigate the impacts of extended oxytetracycline su...
INTRODUCTION: Osteosarcoma (OS) is a malignancy of the bone that mainly afflicts younger individuals. Despite existing treatment approaches, patients with metastatic or recurrent disease generally face poor prognoses. A greater understanding of the t...
BACKGROUND: Liver hepatocellular carcinoma (LIHC) ranks as the foremost cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide, and its early detection poses considerable challenges. Current prognostic indicators, including alpha-fetoprotein, have notable limitati...
BACKGROUND: Several studies indicate that smoking is one of the major risk factors for bladder cancer. Nicotine and its metabolites, the main components of tobacco, have been found to be strongly linked to the occurrence and progression of bladder ca...
